What record do you put on when you feel overwhelmed?

In this week's newsletter I recommended the glorious new record from @forestswords.bsky.social

Plus news about bands being banned from USA, Hayley from Paramore joining Deftones, Boiler Room reacts to boycott, and lots more.

Chill That Overwhelm

A record that's an antidote to the whirl of it all.
